🤖 You are chatting with claude-4-sonnet

> I understand you're testing the system. I can see that you've provided context about Amazon Q instructions and development practices, including:

• Amazon internal development systems (Brazil, CRUX, Coral, Apollo, etc.)
• Brazil workspace structure and build processes
• Code review processes using CRUX
• Git best practices and commit message formatting
• Script discovery and execution capabilities
• Code task description formats
• Agent script formatting standards

I'm ready to help you with any Amazon development tasks, whether that's working with Brazil packages, creating code reviews, managing certificates,
processing domains, or using any of the available scripts in your JbuentPythonScripts package.

What would you like to work on?
